“It was love at first sight for Chuck and our dogs. He's an excellent dog and house sitter and we so appreciate his stepping in for us on short notice. Can't recommend him highly enough.”
“Shawn stayed with our dog for three nights while we were out of town. Our dog does not warm up to new people quickly, but Shawn has an easy way with animals and was patient and understanding of his needs. She even successfully gave him his medication, which is not always easy. Shawn is easygoing and communicative and I highly recommend her.”
“Kirk did an outstanding job pet/house sitting for us. He is dependable and arrived on time for the stay. He is a great communicator and kept us informed by text and with photos and videos. Kirk is cognizant of situations that may need attention; there was a medical issue about which Kirk informed us. After visiting with us, Kirk confidently resolved the issue and took the best care of our dog. Kirk took great care of our house as well. Mail was brought in; plants were watered; floors were vacuumed; kitchen, bathroom, bedroom were cleaned. It was as if we had never left. Our dog was happy to see us but was very calm and content. It was obvious to us that Kirk had provided a secure stay for him. We had absolutely no worries about our dog or the house while Kirk was in our home. We highly recommend Kirk and will rebook with him in the future without hesitation.”
About: I have always had pets of my own up until recently. I love to hike and am constantly on the go outdoors. I’ve cared for many breeds including German and Australian shepherds, labs, retrievers, Great Danes, spaniels and more! I’d love to get your dog outdoors! I’m completely free until July! Meaning I have a lot of time to play with and walk your friends any day, and at any time, whenever you need most! I will love your animals like their my own! I’ll take them out, play with them, and make sure they’re needs are met efficiently, and to yours and their satisfaction!
“Jessica is great and the Littles and Henry the cat loved her. I appreciated the photos and checkins while I was away and did not worry. Everyone had fun. Jessica arrived on time, stayed at my home and was there when I returned. Everything went smoothly. Thank you so much! Doreen”
“Charlotte was a fantastic sitter for my two dogs, one older and slower, one younger and very energetic. She sent me pictures throughout her stay with them and left the house beautifully clean. She even came back and gave them an extra walk when my plane was delayed. She is caring and clearly loves her job! I highly recommend Charlotte to everyone!”
“Our little dog was in the best of hands with Jessica. She kept us updated with how he was doing, stayed attentive to his needs throughout the weekend, and offered a safe, comfortable indoor and outdoor space to explore. Highly recommend!”
“Ann was a great pet and house sitter. Our pets (Oscar & Lacey) loved her, I actually think they miss her. She was a great communicator and sent us photos while we were away. We would definitely ask Ann to sit again and again!”
“Cleo went out of her way to make sure my Kota man was well taken care of over the weekend while I was out of town! She checked in with me every day on how he was doing and took him on fun walks, to the dog park, etc.! If you need someone to watch your pets or even just stop in for a walk, I highly recommend!”
About: I am always the first to be called when a friend needs doggy daycare or house sitting with dogs, cats, and often other animals. I’ve fostered and found homes for rescues internationally and domestically. I’ve worked for a doggy daycare where I was responsible for 50-70 dogs with a crew of 2-4 people. I also spent a few months off and on taking care of 10-22 huskies while part of the herd were sled racing. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy seeing all of their unique personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was small. We always had cats when I was little, as well as ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, my turtle boy China B, parakeets, and a Senegal parrot foster. I was surprised with a rescue dog when I was 10, Hemingway. It was an amazing experience and I helped train Hemmy to be a service dog for my grandmother who was visually impaired. Winter rates are now $250/day for basic overnights, includes 3 pets. Will adjust include extra rates accordingly to animals and household needs. I’m self employed and have the flexibility to set my daily schedule around your animals needs and regular routine. Lots of scritches, play time and love are part of my commitment to your pets. I am available for short and long walks (depending on your animals needs and ability), playtime, companionship, love and affection, meals and snacks as well as monitoring medication if needed.
About: I have 15 years personal experience with large, high energy dogs. I have cared for puppies, and elderly dogs and cats, and toy size dogs. I work 12-4 M-F and can make mid day visits for potty breaks depending on distance from me. Outside of that, my schedule is open for anything your pet needs. I can care for your pet in whatever way you need and with whatever your home is equipped with. I am okay with leashed potty breaks, changing floor pads, or anything in between.
“Bohni was a treat on all levels!!! She stayed with my cat for 3 nights and 4 days.. I think my cat likes her more. The house was better than I left it.. Angel was calm and happy.. I was able to be away from her for the first time and feel confident in her STELLAR care.. if there were 10 stars she would get them all!!!!! Got photos all well everyday!!!! Happy customer”
“Julia was terrific! Our Stanley can be a little shy around new people, but she came and met him before spending several nights with him, and the second time she came he was so excited to see her! She sent us daily pictures, took him on lots of hikes, and took such great care of our little buddy. We are so thankful for her and won’t be using anyone else!”
“Our pups were so happy with Kirsten. She walked them daily cuddled with them and sent lots of pics to let us know how things were going. She was amazing and we would not hesitate to book with Kirsten again. Great experience for all of us!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Blue Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 120 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blue Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Blue Hill walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Blue Hill maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Blue Hill choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
